3 monkeys sat in a coconut tree Discussing things as they're said to be Said 1 to the others "Now listen, you 2 theres a certain rumor that can't be true, that man descended from our noble race. That very idea is a disgrace. No monkey ever deserted his wife Starved her babies or ruined her life. And another thing u will never see A monk build a fence around a coconut tree And let the coconuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monks to taste. If I put up a fence around this tree Starvation would force you to steal from me. Heres another thing a monk wouldn't do, Go out at night and put on a stew, And use a gun or a club or a knife To take some other monkey's life. Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss- But brother, he didn't descend from us. - Francisco Ramo
